I inherited a remington model 11 from my grandfather serial # 1565136. Love the gun and not going to get rid of it but would like to know what its worth and age. its in fair condition. Cracked butt stock. Minor blemishes on the steel.

Call Remington at 1-800-243-9700 during normal business hours. They can tell you the age.

Lots of us have had these old family 11s.

Value, depending on area, is probably less than $400, and if it's in round shape, less than $200. As with all shotguns that predate WWII, a visit to the smith is in order. A new set of rings, springs, buffer and an expert cleaning of the innards will set it up for your grandkids.
